Iím a
criminal defense attorney with a state-wide practice.
Iíve worked in the various state courts listed under
"Jurisdictions", as well in the various divisions of the
United States District Courts for the Eastern District
of Virginia and for the Western District of Virginia.

In my
travels across Virginia Iíve represented people for
homicides, robberies, larceny offenses, and DWI's, but
Iíve come to accumulate what I feel is a high level of
experience in the defense of drug offenses, probation
violations, and sex crimes.

1. DRUG
OFFENSES: the possession and/or distribution of
marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and other
hard drugs; the possession and alleged misuse of
prescription drugs and steroids; and prescription
forgery.

Conviction for even the
simple possession of a drug can lead to disastrous
consequences for oneís employment. A drug defendant has
certain protections under the Federal and state
Constitutions against unreasonable searches and
seizures, and it is always important for the
prosecutionís Ďevidenceí to be reviewed thoroughly so
that the defendant and his attorney can choose the best
option, and conceivably, for more minor offenses, avoid
convictions altogether. For defendants cursed with a
drug addiction, there are various statutory schemes that
include evaluation and treatment by which convictions
may also be avoided.

Under "Drug Offenses", I
list state and Federal drug offenses and offer the
insight that Iíve gained from nearly two decades as a
defense attorney.

2. PROBATION VIOLATIONS:
Do they want to revoke your suspended sentence? We need
to do something about this. All state courts (Circuit
Court, General District Court, JDR Court) and Federal
court.

3.SEX
CRIMES: rape, molestation, child pornography,
prostitution, and, for lack of a more concise phrase,
ďuse of the Internet to have sexual contact with
childrenĒ.

Just being
charged with any sex offense brings with it a
level of approbation that one doesnít see with other
criminal offenses. Being convicted of that sex offense,
at the very least, will require regular registration
with law enforcement and will curtail oneís ability to
live wherever one pleases. At worst, a convicted sex
offender will spend decades in a state or Federal
penitentiary.

Under
"Sex Offenses" youíll see just that: state and Federal
sex crimes listed by statute, along with my descriptions
of what a conviction could entail for you. I also seek
to offer some insight into the whole process, gleaned
from my experience as a defense attorney.
